Is the McVities Gold bar a minor confection?

[Poobum]

Haven't had a Time Out in years, apparently they still make them, great fun dismantling the layers.


Always annoys me how dispersed Starbars are, they should be ubiquitous. Also sad that the matcha kit-kat didn't become a permanent fixture, seems it's gone the same way as the mint twix.

In films when a cowboy type goes into a saloon and says "Give me a bourbon" I imagine the barman getting a pack of biscuits from off the shelf behind the bar and offering the cowboy one, and his reply is "Leave the packet!"

Ha - I have a similar imagined thing of someone going into a pub and asking for a pint of Tetley's, and being given a delicious steaming pint of tea. A Tetley's with a bourbon chaser would be a lovely tea and biscuits.

- Our biscuit tin at home had all the usual Clubs, Trios and Penguins in it.

Are tins a posh thing now?  It was a rusty thing that we had around and used because buying a load of Tupperware (like millennials use) would have cost money.

Having name make wrapped biscuits in the tin like they were just any old bollocks was def To The Manor Born in my memory.

You wouldn't want to have unwrapped biscuits in that rusty tin mate, trust me.

Having them all in one place was better than having wrappers all sliding around and being a dick.  Where are the Trios?  Easy - check the biscuit tin.  Where's the Bitter Lemons?  Biscuit tin mate.


Biscuit tin.  Done.



This was you:  AAAARRRRGGGH FUCKIN HELL SOME TOSSER HAS MOVED THE CLUB FRUITS WHERE COULD THEY HAVE EVER GONE


and then you find them one day years later all melted with the Duplo because you weren't allowed small bricks.

why would you take them old the multipack in the first place

"oh I'll just have a biscuit no wait these clearly chocolate bars and I have to unwrap them"

[Video Game Fan 2000]

viscounts i can understand but trios? That's not real

why not mars bars and a box of black magic while you're fucking at it Jeffrey Archer

easter eggs? biscuit tin

[Sebastian Cobb]

Round one of my mates they kept their chocolate bars in the fridge salad drawer, full to the brim it was. Sounds luxurious but it's really a bit common isn't it?

[Video Game Fan 2000]

Fancy a biscuit, Tom and Barbara? *offering after eights*

[markburgle]

This thread has inspired me to give the Caramac another chance, if I can find one. They were always one of the few chocolate bars I actively disliked, always seemed to have a slightly chalky/gritty texture to them. And the comparison between them and the Gold bar coating is bang out of order, a slander upon the latter if you ask me.

But that is kid me talking cos I haven't had one for a good 20 years. I'll see if greater life experience and wisdom exposes that viewpoint as folly, or reinforces it

Because there is a tin for them to go in or you can fill up extra shelf space with a superfluous lopsided polythene sheath that slides around everywhere, bringing stress and grief


No doubt in your household you had loads of penguin multipacks slipping down the backs of bookcases and things, where they had to remain forever seated against the wall.  Not in ours!  We had an old cylindrical tin with a firm lid!

[Video Game Fan 2000]

Oddly enough, our biscuit barrel had rich teas, coconut rings, bourbons and malted milks with a couple of offmark viscounts at the bottom.

Unlike yours which was apparently filled with unwrapped trios and clubs, loose revels, smashed easter eggs and turkish delight

My brother gave me a box of chocolate bars. They're in the fridge. I should get a biscuit tin.

[Brian Freeze]

I wrote a letter complaining about the poor quality of jokes on Penguins and got two 20p vouchers for my troubles.

I genuinely was around 28 at the time.

Not eaten the fuckers since.

It was rusty to fuck, mate.  Why would you want to have all your unwrapped rich teas and coconut rings against all that rust?

Also they come in multipack wrappers - why not just leave them in those and let them slide around everywhere to QUOTE YOUR OWN ARGUMENT FROM EARLIER

Penguins are just bourbons aren't they, except with all chocolate on them.  Every Penguin is an act of reverse engineering; most fascinating too.

Where are you buying individually wrapped rich tea biscuits, harrods? there won't be a planet left

Not the biscuit tin. Always pink wafers in the bottom that never get eaten.

Why did they name Penguins after the penguin when they have nothing at all in common?
